My latest commission…..
I’ve been working with an astrologer friend of mine, Simon Greene, on a joint project/commission incorporating a brief personality and birth chart outline with a concertina book.
Rather than just make a normal concertina I got to thinking about stars, so this time made a 3 books in 1 concertina.
The cover was made using some of the experimental decorated papers that I did using FW Iridescent Acrylic Ink and Cling Film.The technique is simple and effective. First lay down a wash of ink, watercolour or gouache, then cover with cling film (Film wrap I believe for those in the US?) and let it dry….
The first book is made by opening the right hand ties, giving a conventional type book
Continue round pulling the ribbons right the way round and re-tie so that the book becomes a Star Book…..
The third book is easy…. Undo both the front and the back bow and leave the ribbons untied giving the concertina……
Simple, effective and novel
